4.2.2. Port Setting
This page defines the general port parameters and user must select port number first.
In the port1 and port2, we have Web Page as following. The default setting is Phone Set and extension
number is 1011/1012. But the real extension number will get from Service Center.
In the port3 and port4, we have Web Page as following. The default setting is Relay mode.
Port3 will relay to port1 and Port4 will relay to port2.
If you enable VoIP authentication, any incoming call will invoke IVR to guide you input user id and
password. The user id and password is entered in user management.

4.2.3. Outgoing Mode
In the outgoing mode, we provide Enterprise and ITSP mode to find out peer gateway IP address.
In most case, we use ITSP mode to find peer gateway. The ITSP system provide gatekeeper to control all
of VoIP gateway. Every gateway login gatekeeper and provide basic information to gatekeeper including
port extension number and IP address. So, ITSP mode can support dynamic IP users like DHCP, PPPoE
and PPTP users.
The system administrator must enter gatekeeper IP. If the default gatekeeper is not able to normally
operate. The gateway system will automatically login to 2nd gatekeeper.
In the enterprise mode, we should define outgoing peer gateway information by extension or prefix.
For example, you dial *123#, system will search extension table, and return IP to you. And if you dial
002-86-10-xxxxxxxx, after E.164 processing, you will get 86-10- xxxxxxxx, then they will meet 8643
prefix in prefix table, and return IP to you. So you cannot use any dynamic IP in this mode.

4.2.4. H.323 Setting
We provide H.323 related setting in this page. If you have any interoperability problem, you must
change some setting in this page.
We use the MAC address as H.323 ID. Sometimes ITSP will ask you to change H.323 ID, then you
should disable “use MAC address” and enter your H.323 ID in user input field.

VG211R User Manual
4.2.5. PBX ID / Prefix Setting for Incoming
If you set port type to be PBX CO line, you should set PBX ID here. For example, you set port1 and
port2 to be PBX CO line, and set PBX ID 319 in this page. The port1 and port2 use 319 as their number.
If port1 is busy, system will ring port2. They use same PBX ID number as their number.
If you set port type to be ‘dedicated line’ and want to make this port accept call from Internet. You
should set prefix. For example, you set port3 to be ‘dedicated line’ and set 8862 as prefix, this port will
accept call from Internet for any 8862 prefix number call.

4.2.6. Peer Gateway
You can define any peer gateway in this table. First you may list any peer gateway by IP and net mask,
then you can set call out limitation for that peer gateway, for example Local only, or Long distance or
International call.
But 0.0.0.0 means no more peer gateway limitation. Any VoIP call can be accept by this gateway.
4.2.7. User Management
If you enable VoIP authentication, any incoming call will invoke IVR to guide you input user id and
password. Where can I set user id and password? The answer is User management. You can set user id
and password here. But that is number digit only.
4.3. WAN Settings
The VG211R supports 4 types of WAN connection – Dynamic IP (DHCP Client), PPPoE, Static IP and
PPTP.
4.3.1. Dynamic IP
Under this mode, VG211R enables DHCP client to get IP address automatically from your service
provider. The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some Service Provider’s. The default
MAC address is set to the WAN’s physical interface on the VG211R. If required by Service Provider,
you use the <Clone MAC Address> button to copy the MAC address of the Network Interface Card
installed in your PC and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address. If necessary, you can
use the <Restore> buttons to restore the WAN IP address.

4.3.2. PPPoE
Under this mode, VG211R is acting as a PPPoE client. Enter the PPPoE user name and password
assigned by your Service Provider. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some
service providers. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in seconds) to define a maximum period of time for
which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer
than the Maximum Idle Time, then it will be dropped. You can enable the Auto-reconnect option to
automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again
4.3.3. Static IP
If your Service Provider has assigned a fixed IP address, enter the assigned IP address, subnet mask and
the gateway address provided. Most service providers provide a DNS server for speed and
convenience. If there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address here.
13

VG211R User Manual
4.3.4. PPTP
Under this mode, VG211R-SIP is acting as a PPTP client. Enter the PPTP IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Default Gateway, User ID, Password and PPTP Gateway assigned by your Service Provider. Enter a
Maximum Idle Time (in seconds) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection
is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time,
then it will be dropped.
4.4. LAN Settings
VG211R needs to have an IP address of the local network. You can enable DHCP to dynamically
allocate IP addresses to your client PCs. When DHCP server is enabled, you need to enter the IP address
range for the local hosts.

4.5. NAT Settings
4.5.1. Address Mapping
VG211R supports multiple global IP addresses. It allows IP addresses used in a private local network to
be mapped to one or more addresses used in the public, global Internet. This page allows user to enter
up to 10 addresses mapping between a set of private IP addresses and one global IP address. After
setting, VG211R will map the set of private IP addresses to the global IP address when accessing to the
Internet. This is very useful in the gaming and some particular multimedia applications.
4.5.2. Virtual Server
VG211R is a NAT router. All the IP addresses coming in and going out to VG211R can be converted
between public and private IP addresses. You can configure VG211R as a virtual server so that remote
users accessing services such as the Web or FTP at your local sites via public IP address can be
automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP address. In other words, depending
15

VG211R User Manual
on the requested service (TCP/UDP), the VG211R redirects the external service request to the
appropriate server.
Some of the popular applications and protocol/port numbers mapping are defined below:
Application Protocol Port Number
Telnet TCP 23
FTP TCP 21
SMTP TCP 25
POP3 TCP 110
H.323 TCP 1720
SNMP UCP 161
SNMP Trap UDP 162
HTTP TCP 80
PPTP TCP 1723
PC Anywhere TCP 5631
PC Anywhere UDP 5632
4.5.3. Special Application
Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet
telephony and others. These applications cannot work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is
enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port normally
associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then
enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.

4.6. Firewall
VG211R provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters to limit the risk of
hacker attack, and defending against a wide array of common attacks. When firewall is enabled, extra
checking will be performed for each packets passing through the device, the performance of the device
will be greatly affected. To enable the firewall feature, select <Enable> from firewall page:
4.6.1. Access Control
Access Control allows users to block PCs on your network from gaining access to the Internet. The user
can block PCs based on IP and MAC address. When firewall is enabled, Access Control will be enabled
automatically. User can disable filtering feature manually. When Access Control is enabled, all the
packets will be allowed by default, user can use <Normal Filtering Table> and <MAC Filtering Table>
to filter out un-allowed traffic.
